💡 How do you permanently lock an M6 threaded insert into thin sheet metal without ruining existing hole patterns?
You crank a draw bolt straight into the mandrel and pull hard until the shear groove breaks off.
The back end blooms outward and wedges itself into surrounding metal while the front half hex keeps your socket from slipping.
- Clamp the panel flat to eliminate flex while you seat the barrel squarely
- Use a light touch on the punch to keep the threads aligned before full tension
- Strip the broken mandrel remnant easily with needle nose pliers once seated
- Apply thread locker sparingly on exposed threads to stop vibration creep over time
